Re: Do-not-spam lists is only another tool...
It was said that the Do-Not-Spam list would just give spammers address and allow them to send spam form foreign sources. While this may be the case for some of the spam; here is one reason why this would still limit a percentage of the spam sent from “overseas…”
Many of the persons[1] who send spam are actually physically based in the several States; but are just using foreign services to spam from. They still would be on the hook. You simply look to where the “product” was sent from, or where the money was sent to. Just using or hiring a foreign service won’t offer protection. The person who hired the spamming service still could be held liable. The apparent origin or true origin may different or not be obvious. If Joe Spamboy is selling drugs out of Florida but sends the spam out of (through) China, Joe Spamboy in Florida is still busted.
[1] Definition of “Person” includes: a natural person, company, corporation, partnership, trust, or artificial entity. |
